God answered prayers today
When He took my friend away
The angels came down
And hovered around
As we screamed and cried and prayed

He knew her suffering
He knew her pain
He knew the prayers she prayed
His heart was filled with love for her
So He took her home today

She'd suffered so
We cannot know
The discomfort that she bore
But God above knew all too well
And today, He said, "No More"

And now she's free from this world's stress
Free from this world's cares
With the angels she will sing sweet songs
And wait for us up there

In memory of my beloved friend Sheryl
